The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 528

Upon stepping outside, Jean unexpectedly bumped into his long-lost brother, Karl.

Karl and Jean exchanged cold glances.

With a brief nod as a greeting, they passed each other.

When Karl entered the mansion, he saw Wrenn look visibly upset with a pale face.

Karl casually asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Wrenn had not been in the mood for further explanation. She simply replied, "I need some rest. You two can talk." Then, she went upstairs.

Karl was puzzled and turned around to look at Frederic.

Frederic frowned slightly, looking a bit helpless.

Without mentioning the earlier incident, Frederic simply asked, "What brings you here?"

Karl handed over a document and said, "I've prepared this project proposal for an overseas investment. Have a look."

Before Karl could finish his sentence, Frederic intercepted him and said, "For business matters, consult Jean. No need to show it to me."

Karl’s face stiffened for a while. Then he said, "I did talk to him earlier. But he's delaying the funding!"

Frederic replied. "So, you came to me for support? Why didn't Jean approve? What's his reason?"

Karl was agitated and said, "I wish I knew why he wouldn't approve!"

In fact, Jean had already provided a reason. The project seemed unfeasible with high risks, making it unworthy of investment.

However, in Karl's eyes, Jean intentionally blocked his progress. He must be afraid that I might take over his position one day!

That was why Karl bypassed him to consult Frederic.

"Dad, just take a look, please. If you ask, Jean will definitely approve! He will definitely listen to your words!" Karl said.

Frederic pondered for a while. Jean will definitely listen to my words. That’s not necessarily true! His attitude was really bad just now!

However, Frederic still had mercy for Karl and looked over the project proposal. After briefly reading the proposal, Frederic also declined it. He somehow understood why Jean had not approved the funding.

"Listen to Jean on this matter. He has a keen eye for investments and has never made any mistakes. He is even better than me in this matter! If he didn't approve the proposal, there must be a good reason."

Karl anxiously yelled, "Dad!"

Frederic said coldly, "It's useless coming to me. Unless you revise this proposal, there's nothing to discuss."

Deflated, Karl knew he would not achieve his goal today and swiftly exited.

Karl slammed the car door in frustration and shouted, "Drive!"

From the driver's seat, Leander, who was his assistant, cautiously asked, "Mr. Karl, did Mr. Frederic reject you?"

Karl replied coldly, "Of course, he always favors Jean and neglects everyone else!" I feel so irritated when I think of it. Over the years, the Beauvort family business was primarily under Jean's control. Although Frederic was technically still in charge, but Jean had the power to decide everything! Moreover, Jean does not usually contact me, so every time it is related to a business matter, he is truly undermining me! This is not fair!

Karl always felt a personal rivalry with Jean. As these thoughts consumed him, he remembered the scene he had seen earlier between Jean, Frederic, and Wrenn. They seemed to have some conflict or disagreement. Something must be wrong between them! I must figure it out!

Karl seemed to be somehow interested and told Leander, "When you have time, look into whether Jean has had any recent disagreements with Frederic and Wrenn." It could be an opportunity for me if there truly were a rift!

Leander quickly realized the situation and promptly accepted the task.

Elsewhere, at Startales.

Neera had no idea that Jean would speak so harshly to Frederic and Wrenn on her behalf.

After returning from the hospital, she immersed herself completely in her work. She could work very effortlessly.

Kyra got home, and before changing her shoes, Dandy pulled her into the living room.

Dandy eagerly asked about the results.

"How is it? Did you see Nancy? What did the Beauvort family say? When are they going to have Jean's divorce?"

"I really underestimated her. Neera is actually the miracle doctor, Nancy!"
